1, the majority of the causes of mountain sickness is rising too fast, fatigue, alpine drinking, upper respiratory tract infections. In the 97 years of crossing the Tianshan Mountains, when these points were stained, and High Altitude Pulmonary water clock almost killed me. Requested the development of disease in the mountains very fast in the evening found that breathing sound blisters the next day afternoon coma, dilated pupils. Another mountain sickness relapse rates were high.
2 pairs of mountain sickness is the worst of this is not enough awareness of their own. 97 years of Bogda Peak on foot, I was in good health and did not know what a mountain sickness, a disease if the descent was on the hook. Another point should be clear that the body's own quality of the root cause altitude sickness does not matter, there are good people still believe that the body prone to mountain sickness.
3, we treat mountain sickness when climbing major types of drug preparation: furosemide, mannitol (cerebral edema). In my 99 years in February in the southern slope of Bogda Peak mountain, the mountain sickness relapse, at that time over 3900 meters of the camp, the time is 12:00, the weather is very cold, I immediately decided to descent 500 meters, in a very difficult the case of descent along the glacier to base camp immediately after its own right has two intravenous furosemide, and 500 ho l mannitol (in 5 minutes push the end), the condition was brought under control, the third day I have ahead of descent, to the more than 2000 meters of natural healing. Acetyl trifles amines and DAMOX effective prevention of mountain sickness, post-treatment of the disease is not evident. I have used the hospital to rescue Shihai cedilanid (heart drug).
4, got descent, altitude sickness is the most important treatment, medication can control in the mountains. In the Muztagata climbing, I a Big Ben should fall ill, immediately intravenous injection of furosemide and a bottle of sheep two zinc (antibiotics, prevention of complications such as pneumonia, etc.), the next day and descending 500 meters, condition improved, two days later would go to headquarters to meet the board, after its peak.
5, each person to adapt to the mountains at different times, may be long or short, have a clear understanding of their own my own climbing pace. Got altitude sickness, they should not be afraid, the condition improves you can climb the same mountain, mountain sickness is immune in the short term effect, I have consulted several medical experts, the answer is no, but I got better after the ascent Muztagata the course of symptoms without a headache and other mountains, that is physical has a moral one.
